Gestational weight gain (GWG), weight gain of a mother during pregnancy, is an important determinant that influence the health outcomes of mothers and fetus. There is an increasing trend of pregnant women using mobile health (mHealth) to assess for pregnancy-related health information. While evidence on the effectiveness of mHealth education on improving pregnancy outcomes among pregnant women is growing, the findings had been inconclusive with scarcity of such data in Malaysia. The objective of the study is to determine the effectiveness of a 9-month mHealth intervention on GWG and other outcomes (prenatal knowledge, physical activity, psychosocial well-being, nutritional status, quality of life and sleep quality) among pregnant women.
